What happened
The Punjab Department of Transport lists Director State Transport as an organisation within the department and gives its office as Jeevandeep Building, First Floor, near TDI Mall, Chandigarh 160017. The organisation entry identifies Gurpreet Singh Khaira, IAS, as Director State Transport-cum-MD PUNBUS.
The supplied Punjab Roadways overview page was inaccessible, so the claimed 1948 commencement, fleet of 868 buses, 101 kilometre-scheme buses, daily kilometres and daily passenger figures could not be independently verified.
The Punjab e-procurement record shows a tender for implementation of an Automatic Fare Collection System in PUNBUS and Punjab Roadways, tender ID 2024_TRANS_126664_1, published on 4 September 2024. The supplied mission page was inaccessible, so the detailed mission claims should be omitted.
What we could not confirm
The Punjab Roadways homepage, overview, who's-who and mission pages were inaccessible during checking. The departmental relationship and Chandigarh office are supported by the Punjab Department of Transport page, while the fare-collection procurement is supported by the Punjab e-procurement record.
